VIDEO | Via pit radio: Vettel sings a serenade to Ferrari

The four-time Formula 1 world champion said goodbye to the Scuderia after six years while singing on the pit radio. Even though the Italians didn't win the title, the Heppenheimer was still emotional at the end. At the season finale in Abu Dhabi, Vettel experienced his last pointless disappointment in 14th place on Sunday before he drives for the new Aston Martin team next year. “You are the red team, passionate, you never give up,” Vettel sang – in Italian, mind you – to the melody of the song Azzurro and followed up: “Feeling your magic was an extraordinary experience. Guys, thank you!” Vettel sent a greeting to the factory in Maranello: “Now I say goodbye and wish you all the best!”

Today's race and the year do not represent the time we had," said Vettel on Sky: "On the one hand I am sad, on the other hand I am looking forward to the next chapter." He will have fond memories of the day, "the race but definitely not.”
